If your a new DIY. May I suggest a few books to buy. they will help you obtain the knowledge that you need to work on the car.

First I would suggest a Haynes manual. They do not make a manual for your body style but they do have manuals for the area you may be working on. go to the Technical manuals.

Also consider the Servie Manual for your car. Its a few $$ but is applies to your specific vehicle.

To advance your knowledge consider a SAE certification book. I have Modern Automotive Technology be Duffy. About $80 but it covers all aspects of automotive repair for SAE certification.

Use this Forum. If you have any questions ASK.

Do searches. This will provide a tremendous amount of info for you.
